14 Comments on “Maserati: “We Can Do Anything”...”

Unbelievably cheesy video, but the car itself is the most attractive premium SUV going. Will probably have the nicest interior too. The current Jeep platform is top-notch for this sort of thing, so why not?

And lets face it, choosing to buy something as flamboyant as a Maserati means you are probably pretty far up the douchebag scale to start with. Subtle they are not.

Around the world, douche-bags line up in droves to purchase luxury SUVs. Hell, the market in the US is still hot as well. In the Middle East alone, every other vehicle on the road is from this category. In China, the douche-bags leave the chauffeurs at home, and drive their own lux utilities. That’s real dedication! The Fiat Group can use the profits to be had from a Maserati SUV. Let them share in the fun that the other luxury brands are enjoying.

Maserati, look like you’re a half-step from becoming the official luxury brand of Jersey Shore.
This, yes. There’s three douchebags that have Maseratis in my building alone in Portland. Other preferred brand is Land Rover.

I’ll second that for Minneapolis. There are a lot of them prowling around the trendy parts of town at bar time, piloted by exactly the type of guy you’d expect to be driving a Maser convertible past a club at 2:30 am…

I have a Quattroporte and the new Grand Cherokee, and I love them both. But I would never buy a Mas SUV (or any other European SUV, for that matter). In fact, if they are going to cheapen the brand like this, I might not but the Q when the lease is up, as I planned to do.
As far as reliabilty goes, I’ve had it for a year and a half, and have had zero problems. The service is pricey, but the first required sevice is 24K or 2 years.

Seriously, what’s the big f+++ing deal? Porsche has done this already to great success. And they’re now about to do a “Cajun” successor. Why begrudge Maserati similiar aspirations? The market will decide. Besides, the Kubang is pretty damn hot.

The article title made me think of Anne’s Song by Faith No More, and for that I thank you. It’s been too long since I listened to Introduce Yourself. I was glad to see that they didn’t demean any interesting and creative songs by tying one to corporate branding. It’s impossible to ruin a song that’s as generic and meaningless as the one they used!

we can do anything we want, we tell you again
We can go anywhere tonight, cause we’re with Anne
